Dedication

Here’s to the Young Men of Hobart,

Those boys with their hearts strong and true
Who left home and friends and ambition
To fight for the Red, White and Blue.

With reverence we dedicate our Annual
To all who have answered the call
Of patriotism, honor and freedom.

Three cheers for our boys, one and all.

Treasurer ..Mr. F. J. Ewigleben

•*» :*

Mr. Fowble is so much our friend that we often do not think of him as
one of the traditional governing authorities who arc so engrossed in the
greatness of their high station that they fail to be aware of the other mem-
bers of the human race. Mr. Fowble will be remembered for his interest in
student affairs and his great concern for the welfare of the student body.

While the Board of Education is not so closely associated with the stu-
ments as the other memebrs of the school organization, the part that they
plav in our school affairs is appreciated none the less. I o the present School
Board, particularly, we owe much as a result of the successful way they have
managed the school. We arc always pleased to have the members of the
Board take an active part in any of the student affairs that appeal to them.

IN APPRECIATION

The Annual Staff hereby expresses its sincere appreciation to Mr. Fowble
for the valuable suggestions and cheerful encouragement that he has given
us in the publication of this book.

H. E. MOGLE
Principal

Chemistry and Science
Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Ind.

Mr. Mogle came to us as Principal
qf H. S. H. at the mid-year vacation
after his service with Uncle Same was
ended. Although he has been with us
but a short time, he has now the
friendship of the students because of
his interest in high school activities.
Mr. Mogle has been the faculty ad-
visor for the advertising department
of the Aurora and was able to bring
it through with a sum far beyond ex-
pectations, long before the usual time
for closing. Furthermore, Mr. Mogle
has been sponsor for the Freshmen
and has succeeded in getting them in-
terested in school activities. We wish
to express our appreciation of the
work he has done for us during our
school term and the interest he has
taken in the welfare of all the stu-
dents.

MISS MAKY PORTMESS
History

Most of the Seniors will remember
Miss Portmess as their seventh and
eighth grade teacher in the other
building. It would seem that she ap-
preciates our value for she has fol-
lowed us into the high school and now
has charge of the History work there
and among the lower classes. All the
students realize that Miss Portmess
has high aims in her school work and
that her influence is always for the
best interests of the students. She
takes an active part in the affairs of
her classes and through her work as
sponsor for the Juniors has rendered
fine service in encouraging clean and
wholesome school activities. Miss
Portmess is herself a graduate of this
high school and many of her friends
will be interested to know that she
will be back again next year.

MISS DAISY ROWE
Arithmetic, English
Although Miss Rowe is engaged
mainly with the lower classes, she has
a wide acquaintance throughout the
entire school. In many ways she has
been one of the most helpful teachers
the Seniors have had, having guided
them safely through the grades and
into the high school. She is compan-
ionable with all the students and is
always doing her best to boost their
interests. She enjoys a good joke
in her classes but firmly believes that
work is work. Miss Rowe has no
doubt done more for us than any or
us realize, and we certainly do ap-
preciate her interest in our welfare.
She has signified her intention of com-
ing back next year, which fact, we
are sure will be gratifying to every-
one.

MISS MARGARET MIDDLEKAUFF
English

University of Wisconsin

Miss Middlekauff came to us to fin-
ish the year after the resignation of
Eunice Roper Carter. She has charge
of the English work in the high school
and upper grades. Owing to the fact
that her interest in the law profes-
sion and certain of its followers seems
to be so far in advance of her desire
for teaching, we do not believe that
she will be with us next year.

MISS ELLEN MALONE
Mathematics

We are very proud to claim Miss
Malone as a home product, she being
graduated from the Hobart High
School. If you are in her classes, we
advise you to carefully consider your
conduct, for although she may not say
much, she will think, and that is what
counts when finals are given. She is
always ready to lend a hand to those
needing help, and enjoys attending
student affairs and helps them to plan
a good time. Miss Malone is sponsor
of the Sophomore class and has guided
them safely through the year. She
has signified her intention of coming
back next fall, an announcement we
are sure will be very gratifying to
everyone.

MISS MARY McLINN
Music, Drawing

Chicago Musical College

Miss McLinn came to us some two
years ago as Supervisor of Music
course. She has worked diligently
with the students in the various kinds
of art and the singing of the chorus
is the familiar sound coming from the
Auditorium during the last four of
the day. Though she is fond of day
dreams and meditations we believe
that next year will find her still a
member of the faculty.

MRS. JAMES CARTER
(Miss Eunice Roper)

English

After having been instructor in
English for several years. Miss Roper
left us last February to become Mrs.

J. Carter. She was a popular and
energetic teacher and her resignation
was keenly felt by the students and
faculty. However, we were lucky to
have Miss Roper with us as long as
we did. and the faculty and student
body all join in extending to her their
thanks for what she has done for the
school and a wish for her future hap-
piness. '

MISS HELEN SMITH
Domestic Science

Miss Smith is another of the high
school teachers who is herself a grad-
uate of this school. This is her sec-
ond year with us as instructor in Do-
mestic Arts. Her work makes it pos-
sible for her to come in contact with
members of all classes, and many of
the high school girls have enjoyed
working under her instruction. The
members of the High School will be
glad to learn that Miss Smith will be
back at her post next fall.

MISS IRENE SEXTON
Commercial

State Normal School, Oshkosh, Wis.

Although Miss Sexton has been with
us but one year, she has made herself
very popular with the students. Miss
Sexton is known to most of the up-
per classmen through the medium of
Commercial courses. By this means
they have finally come to reealize that
their knowledge of Arithmetic was
mainly traditional. However, the
students appreciate the value of Miss
Sexton’s work, either as a member of
her class or as one of her many
friends throughout the school. She
has decided to remain with us for
another year.

MISS ELLEN GRIFFITH
Latin

Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa

Miss Griffith came to us this year
from Ashton, Illinois, and has in-
structed in Latin and Public Speak-
ing, as well as coached the high
school play and contestants. Both of
these undertakings have proven suc-
cessful and she has won for herself
much respect and esteem from the stu-
dents as well as from the other mem-
bers of the faculty. As sponsor for
the Senior class she has shown her-
self to be a valuable friend and ad-
visor, and we are glad to say that she
will be a member of the Faculty next
year.

DON I. FRACE
Principal of Grades
Grammar

University of Michigan

Although Principal of the grades,
Mr. Frace has duties in the Junior
High School, and is seen on our side
of the building most of the time. In
addition to his school activities, Mr.
Frace is Master for the Boy Scouts
and as such conducts the youth into
and sometimes out of that organiza-
tion. As a teacher, Mr. Frace has
done much toward making his line of
work interesting to all students, and
for the most part the students realize
the benefit of being in his classes.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

By DOROTHY WOOD, T9

Of the nine in this year's graduating class, only five are what might be
termed the “great originals.” As infants, we came with our fond mammas
to school for the first time. Miss Bailey welcomed us and we straightway
fell in love with her. Somehow we happened to stick together through our
toothless days and at last we were what we thought young ladies and gentle-
men, when we passed “upstairs” into Miss Rowe’s room. When we were
in the fifth grade the departmental system was established. It was very suc-
cessful but I am afraid we were just a trifle confused at first in passing from
one room to another. In the seventh grade a shy little girl whom you
wouldn’t recognize as “Ola” joined us. We had gathered all the bad boys
of the school into our class and when I think of the stunts we used to “pull
off” I wonder how so many of us lived without a few broken bones.

Our class was such an unusual one that the school authorities thought it
advisable to establish mid-year promotions. Oh ! how we studied to finish a
year’s work in a half a year, but we all did it.

We entered “High” at the end of the first Semester and caused a good
deal of excitement. Our “pep” and “go” made us popular and the rest of
the high school folks sighed when they thought of our futures. The next
fall found Wilma and Willard waiting to join us. Our original class had
grown smaller and the new members were made welcome. Because the
school was so crowded, they tucked us away into a room upstairs far re-
moved from everyone else, but we were happy and were the envy of the
rest of the school.

The Great War had found some of our boys ready, two members of
our class made the supreme sacrifice and now sleep in soldier’s graves in
France. As Juniors we directed all our energy to helping “win the war.”
In place of the usual receiption, we gave a dancing party to the Seniors and
donated the proceeds, fifty dollars, to the Red Cross. During this busy
year Alice came from West Virginia to be in our class and help us.

This, our Senior year, has been rather discouraging because of the time
lost during the influenza epidemic, but we are trying to make up for lost
time this semester. On the whole, our school life has been so interesting
and pleasant that we are sorry to find it so nearly completed.

CLASS HISTORY

We, the Junior Class, entered our career as high school students in Sep-
tember, 1916, with an enrollment that was unusually small. Being “Freshies,'’
of course, we did not do very much work that year.

In September, 1917, we came back to the school as Sophomores. That
year was a busy one, as our history teacher asked us to attend the lectures of
Dr. Linton on the war. Miss Gillilland supervised us in the making of
posters for the various drives that were carried on by the government and
societies of note. It was during our second year that Glenn Burris joined
our ranks.

Many new teachers greeted us when we returned as Juniors last fall, and
we found that we had to accustom ourselves to many new rules. Under the
direction of Miss Portmess we entertained the members of the high school
by a production of note. Class dues were collected from us for the first time
this year.

Lois Gross studies History,

Then she works on Geometry.

Harry Hawke is very jolly

And always up to some new kind of folly.

Edna Wischman, so they say,

Goes to bookkeeping every day.

Dorothy Blaemire is very sweet
And her face looks kind and neat.
Mildred Wild is so dear,

/A She seems to be happy all the year.

Selma loves to sing and sing

Until she makes the whole room ring.

Florence Larson likes to cook,

Some day she’ll write a recipe in a book.
Gladys Humes is full of fun,

And keeps your laughter on the run.

The writer of these rhymes is small,

And seems to like music best of all.

HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS

By MARTIN FRIEDRICH

In all probability the class of 1921 is the largest, most flourishing and
most admired class of all. Though composed of only three boys and twelve
girls, we will, no doubt, be remembered as the most studious (or laziest),
most business-like (or disorganized), and most disliked class in school.

In the fall of 1918, we as a class came into the Hobart High School and
thought that we knew all that there was to know. We became very much
confused while trying to find the rooms for our various classes, and as a
result we went to the English room to recite Latin and vice versa. During
the second semester we learned more and looked down upon the newcomers,
forgetting that we were still Freshmen ourselves.

At the beginning of this school year all but a few came back and found
that we had a new corps of teachers, as our old Principal, Superintendent,
Latin teacher and others had left. Then came the “flu” and we had two
months’ vacation, but we managed to get through with the first semester’s
work. At the beginning of the second semester a new English teacher came
to take the place of “Polly,” who left us.

In closing this brief history of the Sophomore class, I will say this has
proved to be one of the most flourishing years for the class of 1921.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY

By MARION PAXTON, ’22

Early on the morning of the third of September the Freshman class
entered the old Hobart High School building to battle against the storms of
high school life. One of the first things to overcome was the jibes and jests
of the older students.

After a few days our feeling of “greenness” wore off and we went to work
with a good will. The class worked in unison and covered all the first term’s
work even though we lost two itionths on account of the influenza.

Several members of the class left school for various reasons during the
first half of the year.

On the fourteenth of February the Principal of the high school called a
meeting of the class and the officers were elected as follows: Marion Paxton,
President; Verva De France, Vice-president; Lynn Peterson, Secretary and
Treasurer. There was a social committee appointed as follows: Louise

Niksch, Bessie Nitchman, Gerald Keilman, Wayne Nelson, and Marion Pax-
ton.

We arc proud of our large class and will strive to retain our large number.

The Junior High School which is composed of the Seventh and Eighth
Grades, was organized in 1917. Aa in the high school, the work is arranged
on the departmental plan, thus giving the pupil the advantage of coming in
daily contact with teachers differing in temperament and personality. This
plan insures uniform interest and efficiency in. the presentation of the different
subjects.

The pupils early become accustomed to the routine of high school work
and are much more likely to remain in school during the next four years.
Hobart is very proud of her large J onior High School and hopes that its
members of 1919 will become loyal and industrious members of the Senior
High School.

Members of the Junior High School share some of the advantages of the
Senior High School, which lessens the gap between these departments, and is
an incentive for the pupils to finish the regular high school course. The
present enrollment of ninety in the Junior High School is the largest ever
recorded in the Hobart Schools.

The purpose of English courses in high schools is two-fold : It must

prepare the pupil who will enter the business world upon completion of his
high school course, and it must fit the one who will enter college. Until a
few years ago the emphasis was put on work to advance the latter class of
pupils. However, this idea is changing. The fact is recognized that far
more people enter the work-a-day world when they finish high school than
go to college. For this reason the emphasis is shifting from the classical to
the practical.

In Hobart High School three years of English are required. During the
first two years, oral and written compositions are given frequently by the
pupils. This work helps each to express himself and to convey his ideas
forcefully to his audience. In addition to Rhetoric, each class reads and studies
several standard works of literature, as: Dickens’ “Oliver Twist,” Shake-
speare’s “Macbeth,” and George Eliot’s “Silas Marner.” These books arc
used so that the pupil may see how renouned writers have expressed them-
selves and so that he may learn to enjoy the better class of literature. The
history of English Literature from the time the first ballads were sung to the
present day fiction, is studied in the third year. This course adheres, in a
measure, to the college preparatory plan.

The relative value of English and other high school subjects is scarcely
debatable when one realizes that English is needed to understand History.
Science, or any other subject. It is necessary to speak correctly to advance
in the business or in the social world. English is therefore essential to all
persons in every situation in life.

On November eleventh the people of Hobart went wild with joy and
happiness over the confirmed report that Germany had signed the armistice
terms. The demonstration of their loyalty and patriotism was shown by the
fervor and energy put forth to the complete celebration of the day.

At dawn there arose upon the frofety air the clanging of bells, shooting of
guns, and blowing of whistles. As the day progressed, the downtown district
began to present a surging crowd of people. The school was suspended and
the entire population, including people from the country districts for miles
around, joined in the peace celebration.

At nine o’clock people with flags and smiling faces and cheerful hearts
assembled at Fourth Street to parade, a wonderful demonstration of the peo-
ple who love peace not alone for themselves at home, but for the people of
all nations of the world. The parade was headed by Company K, the home
militia company, and was led by Marshal Rose through the principal streets.

The parade itself was composed of men, women and children and was nearly
a mile long. When tired out the paraders assembled south of the Nickel Plate
tracks, where Attorney R. R. Peddicord proposed three cheers for President
Wilson, the Allied Generals in France, the American soldiers in France, and
the mothers of those in service. The cheering was followed by a moment of
silent prayer, after which the crowd disbanded.

The day was involuntarily recognized as a holiday, for the good news
electrified the people as they had never before been aroused. They continued
celebrating throughout the day and night as was the general custom of all
nations of the world.

The wishes of the people were that this would be an everlasting peace
and bring with it the return of the boys from “Over There.” It will be a
grand welcoming home. Hurrah !

SUBMARINES AND THE SECRET SERVICE

MAN

By LOIS GROSS

It was in this last great war for democracy that a certain secret service
man, by name, C. A. Johnson, found himself in a very trying position. He
wished to do all he could for the grand old U. S. A. and to prove his worth
and loyaltv, he entered the foreign secret service work. He had been abroad
several times and it was while he was across the last time that the following
incident took place.

For several days Johnson had been watching a suspicious looking per-
son, who was, to all appearances, a little old lady. However, this queer char-
acter later was discovered to be a man disguised in woman’s clothing. Each
night she would carefully take her odd looking satchel into a little old
weather-beaten house. Before going in she would look carefully all about her.
Johnson was curious and did not know just what to think about it.

“Well I declare,” he ejaculated. “This puzzles me, but if it is in my
power to do so, I shall find out what this means.”

One night after the woman had entered the house as usual, he came forth
from his hiding place and started toward the house. As he approached a man
stepped out and commanded him to halt. Then came several others from the
house. Johnson tried his best to escape but it was of no avail. He was cap-
tured, dragged into the house, bound band and foot, and cruelly beaten till

they thought he would never survive. They dragged him into one corner
and went on with their work as though nothing had happened.

After a while Johnson became conscious again, but made no disturbance.
He found to his joy that they had thrown him near the fireplace. So with
clever movement, he got himself in such a position as to burn the rope from
his hands. He burned his hands very badly, but he thought not of himself
but of the puzzel he was trying to solve. He escaped through a small open-
ing without notice, but he stayed close enough to hear what the men said
when they found he had gone.

“Well,” said one, “I bet he will not come around again where he hasn’t
any business.”

After an interval of low conversation they came forth from the house.
As they approached Johnson recognized the same voice which he had heard
speaking before.

“Boys, this submarine will sure knock those fiery Yank ships all to pieces.”

Johnson was aroused by this remark and followed the group closely.
They proved to be Germans as he could plainly tell from their accent. On
the following evening he dressed himself as nearly like them as was possible
and went to their place of meeting. When accosted again by the guards he
answered in their language.

“Fellowmen, the most high officer in the Fatherlands’ Navy sent me to
bring your well worked plans.”

Without any doubt they handed over the plans, thinking they would re-
ceive a great reward for their new invention. But alas ! not so, for the Ger-
man officers never even so much as laid hands on the plans. Johnson im-
mediately hid the plans and took the next transport home to America. When
once more safe in the good old U. S. A., he felt free to bring out the plans.
He did so and at once presented them to the government. They proved to
be very finely worked out designs for a submarine. Once again an American
secret service man was too witty for the Germans.

ALONE IN CHICAGO

(An Original True Story From Grammar 7A)

By LOIS BOYD

It was a cold bleak day in Chicago. The snow was blowing and the
wind was howling. I had been visiting my aunt and was going home.

I had my ticket and had started to get on the train, when the conductor
told me the train did not stop at my town.

I went back to the station to look for my aunt. She had gone, so I sat
down to think what 1 could do. I was rather frightened because I had never
been in Chicago alone before.

I went to the ladies’ waiting room and sat down to read a magazine which
I had bought. 1 had not read very long before I was interrupted by a woman
who wore the uniform of a matron.

“Are you traveling alone?” she asked.

“Yes,” I answered.

“What is your name?”

I told her.

“Where did you come from?”

“I have been visiting my aunt in Chicago,” I answered. Then the matron
went away and did not come back for a long time. I was half amused and
half frightened at her questions. After a while she came back with an official
looking person. He took me to his private office.

“How old are you?” he asked.

“I am twelve years old.”

“Have you ever been to Akron, Ohio?” he asked again.

“No, sir,” I answered.

“Can you prove in any way that you are Lois Boyd of Hobart, Indiana?”

“I will give you my aunt’s telephone number,” I said. “I have some let-
ters also.”

“Show me the letters.”

1 gave them to him. They were addressed to me and seemed to satisfy
any questions which he had in regard to my identity.

“Would you please explain a little?” I asked.

“In Akron, Ohio, a girl of your age disappeared. She was twelve years
old and you answer to her discription. Her mother is almost frantic and has
wired all the railroad stations,” he said.

They then put me in charge of a lady who helped me on the train for
Hobart.

On Friday, April the eleventh, the above cast of characters presented
Arthur Wing Pinero’s three-act farce, “The Magistrate.” The whole plot
centers around the vanity of Mrs. Posket, w T ho has said that she is thirty-one
instead of thirty-six, and that her son, Cis, is fourteen instead of nineteen.
Naturally there are many absurd and amusing scenes arising from such an
unusual situation. Mrs. Posket’s second husband, the Magistrate, is a good-
natured, easy-going man who pays half the fines inflicted in his court. In
order to shield his wife, Mr. Posket goes with his stepson to the Hotel dc
Princes, Meek Street, and in the course of the evening, finds himself hiding
under the same table with his wife, who has come to the Hotel de Princes to
beg Colonel Lukyn not to reveal her real age to Mr. Posket. Of course poor
Cis’ real age cannot be concealed longer and in the end, all are happier to
know the real truth.

Walter Miller and Gideon Carlson made a very amusing son and father,
while Margaret Gerber and Emma Carstensen were the long-parted sisters.
Splendid acting was done by Dorothy Wood and Helen Linkhart, who were
servants in the Posket household. The judicial men in the cast were Ray
Kostbade, Robert Frank, Walter Isaakson, Lynn Peterson and Clinton Cav-

endar. They zealously upheld the law, which as Bullamy said, “seemed most
perfect in all cases.” The servant, Wyke, added humor to the play in his own
quiet way, while the hotel owner, Blond, and his odd French servant, Isadore,
were truly worried about keeping the hotel open longer than the law allowed.
The soldiers, Colonel Lukyn and Captain Vale, did some clever acting in the
scene in the hotel. In summary, we may say that each person on the cast
forgot his personality as a member of the Hobart High School, and, for this
one evening, belonged with the Magistrate and his friends.

No doubt everyone in the audience passed an enjoyable evening and will
agree with critics that the “Magistrate” is worthy of a place among the five
best farces in the English language.

Hobart High School, as a member of the Lake County Oratorical As-
sociation, has been represented for many years in the oratorical contests held
at Gary. The school has entered all sections: musical, dramatic and oratorical.

In 1918, Miss Dora Owens won second place in the readings. This year
several members of the Public Speaking class entered the oratorical contest.

In our preliminary contest, held in the Auditorium, Gladys Humes,
Marion Paxton, Mildred Wild, and Anna Hideen presented the following read-
ings: " 1 he Death Disk,' “Gmeyns’ Canyon,” “The Man in the Shadow,” and
“Within the Law.”

The county contest this year was held at Gary, April 25. Hobart sent
a large delegation in addition to the contestants, and was given the first choice
of seats.

“Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on
the tongue: but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief
the town crier spoke my lines.” ’Tis thus that Hamlet gave instructions to
his players, so we realize that the art of Public Speaking is as old as the race
itself, but it is only in comparatively recent times that we have given it special
study in our Secondary Schools. Some people hold a false conception of
Public Speaking and think of it as a highly dramatic and oratorical style of
speaking. However, public speaking is fast becoming a practical and busi-
ness-like study, adapted to every day life. The study and comparison of
ancient and modern drama enables the student to really appreciate the plays
which he sees. Practice in debates gives quickness of thought while standing
and speaking. The competitive nature of debate tends to heighten the interest
of all. Subjects of local and national interest always appeal to the student
and furnish excellent subjects for speeches. Some people are handicapped in
their business, professional, and political careers by a diffidence and a lack of
confidence in their own powers of speech. This unfortunate circumstance
should be understood and met by the presentation of a course in Public
Speaking in all high schools and colleges. The Public Speaking class in
Hobart High School has always been popular and the members have been
prominent in debate, contests and dramas.

great need for a new laboratory, and we expect to have it next year. The
present room is very poorly ventilated, the lighting is bad, and half the room
is under ground. There are no gas hoods to prevent the escape of gases from
the room, and most of the time the pupils complain of headaches, because of
the poorly ventilated conditions.

This science is one of the most important today in the commercial world,
and during the war, men who knew Chemistry well rose from the rank of
private to become Majors and Colonels.

The experiments follow the text closely and anything not thoroughly
worked out in class is completed in the laboratory. It is a very interesting
subject because of its experimental phases and the student , above all, learns
that accuracy, thoughtfulness, and carefullness are the things that count for
success in the course.

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

Physical Geography is a Freshman subject. The nature of the course is
so different from the grade work that it is practically a new thing, to the
student. The physical, commercial, and economic conditions of the earth are
discussed in such a way that a broader view of the world is given than could
be obtained from the common geography. Economic and commercial porb-
lems are brought before the student because he sees them as they happen
around him, so naturally, it is of great interest to a beginner in high school.

COMMERCIAL COURSE

By ANNA HIDEEN, ’19

Bookkeeping, Commercial Arithmetic, Stenography and Typewriting are
the subjects offered in the Hobart High School Commercial Course.

We were Juniors when we started our business course. Our Bookkeep-
ing class consisted of five enthusiastic workers, all eager to learn everything
given. The second semester of the Junior year we started Stenography with
six students under Mr. Thompson. This year we found that four of our
members had dropped out, leaving two of us, a small but determined class.

This year the Gregg system has been introduced, so that the students can
study either Gregg or Pittman.

The Commercial Arithmetic class is made up of Sophomores, Juniors and
Seniors. This was easy for us as it was partly a review of the arithmetic
in the grades.

There are two typewriting classes. The chief delight of the members in
this class is to see how fast they can make the keys go. Accuracy, speed
and neatness are the essentials in a business course.

\'n conclusion we wish to express our gratitude to Miss Sexton for the
intei cst she has in our work, and for her patience, which remained forever
unchanged.

ATHLETICS

For the last few years there has been no athletics in Hobart High School.
Within two years the high school will grow to at least one hundred and fifty
students judging by the size of the present graduating class from the eighth
grade. We belong to the State Athletic Association pay our dues regularly,
merely to hold membership, and what have we to show for it?

The school certainly needs a new Gymnasium, or at least a suitable place
in which to play until a new gym can be built. Back of the present plant
is a splendid space to erect such a building. It would not cost so very much
and the good such an addition would do for our standing in the state would
be well worth the cost.

Athletics make the boys and girls take an interest in their high school
work which study and grind alone will not do. We want to make Hobart
High School one of the coming schools in the state conference. Athletics
advertise — besides helping the boys and girls physically. It gives them an
interest in their work that all work and no play will not do. Help us boost for
a new Gymnasium !

HISTORY

“The time of conquest is past. It is not by extending the boundaries of
its territory that a nation can henceforward be honored and powerful, but by
placing itself at the head of generous ideas and spreading everywhere the
empire of justice and right.” — Louis Napoleon.

A History course is offered students in the second, third and fourth years
of the high school. The first year’s work includes ancient and oriental, Eng-

lish and Continental History to approximately the end of the seventeenth cen-
tury and the period of American exploration.

The second' year’s work, as reorganized in the new text book, is devoted
mainly to the study of European History of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen-
turies. This gives an opportunity for intensive study of the vast changes of
the last two centuries which is so essential to an intelligent understanding of
the conditions and problems of today.

A primary aim of instruction in American History in the Senior year is
to develop a vivid conception of American nationality, a strong and intelligent
patriotism, and a keen sense of the responsibility of every citizen for national
efficiency. During the second semester of this year a short course in Civics
is taken up to prepare the high school students for the proper exercise of their
duties and privileges as American citizens. The preparation for this includes
a knowledge of the structure and functions of our system of government, a
familiarity with the affairs of today as connected with the work of govern-
ment and also some training of the judgment in connection with practical
subjects so that the pupils may understand the truth about the problems of
government.

A sympathetic understanding of nations other than our own and an in-
telligent appreciation of their contributions to civilization is developed
through the study of the best weekly current literature by all Tfigh School
History classes.

LATIN

By DOROTHY WOOD, ’19

During the last few years there had been a tendency to break away from
the study of Latin in high schools, but with the discontinuing of the study
of German, Latin is again playing an important part. The practical value of
Latin is more in evidence today than it ever has been. In our associations
with the people of Europe, the soldiers have found Latin to be of great value
in the study of French, as the French and Italian languages are over ninety
per cent Latin. So many thousands of our own words are derived from the
Latin and to make us realize this fact one of our instructors required us to
make lists of English words derived from the Latin.

The majority of our class (which was a large one when we entered high
school) decided to study Latin as a part of their course. Miss Gillilland was
our teacher and I am quite sure we were very good “beginners.” We studied
the “little red book” and “Yirae Romae” the first year. The next year was
our Caesar class and by this time our “very large” class had dwindled down
considerably. Miss Gillilland read “The Standard Bearer” (a story in which

the customs of the day were brought forth) and we kept note books upon
the story and at the end of the year prizes were awarded to those who had

the best books. I still have my prize, an oriental belt, and I am very proud

of it, for it means many hours’ work). We gave two Latin plays this year,
“The Roman School” and “Roman Wedding” and for a time at least, we
“lived as the Romans did.”

When we were Juniors we read Cicero’s “Orations.” Our Latin Club,

the “Romanus Sodalitas,” was influential in procuring two pictures, “The

School of the Vestals” and “Cicero’s Oration Against Cataline” for the Latin
room. We played, “Cicero Consules” and “Andromache” for the high schools
and friends.

This year we have a new instructor, Miss Griffith. There are two large
classes in beginning Latin, one in Caesar, and one in Vergil. The beginning
classes are using verb blanks which are a great help to the pupils. We have
been unable to have any festivities this year because we were closed so long
during the Influenza epidemic and w T e are studying a great deal to cover our
required course.

MATHEMATICS

By WILMA CULLMAN, ’19

Mathematics, an interesting and useful subject, is a study, the knowledge
of which we need in all walks of life. Such knowledge was needed in ancient
and medieval times, and without it today no engineering proposition or busi-
ness transaction could be undertaken. It is therefore evident that mathe-
matics should be studied earnestly by everyone who enters high school.

The present high school course in mathematics requires one year of
Algebra and one year of Geometry. Solid Geometry and Commercial Arith-
metic, both half-year subjects, are elective.

When the class of 1919 entered high school we were introduced to Algebra
by Mr. A. G. Epps. We thought w t c were wise in that subject but we quickly
found out that we had touched only the dust on the cover in our grade work.
W e soon learned to substitute letters of the alphebet for numbers and after
much correcting arrived at our answers. One of the hardest parts was learn-
ing the seven cases.

When we had mastered Algebra, as best we could, we patiently waited
for the time to come when we would get into the much talked of and most
wonderful subject of Geometry. When, during our Sophomore year we were
once into the subject, we solemnly swore that we would be glad when we

were through with it, for there was an awful nrxture of quadrilaterals, tri-
angles, and circles, which several of our members found tco hard to cope with.

That year we learned that Mr. Epps wasn’t coming back the following
year, so we didn’t want to go on with Geometry, but another half year was
necessary, so we waited and wondered.

In our third year, M. J. Baker greeted us. .He was we'l liked and we were
getting a good start when he was called into nrlitary sendee. Mr. La Rue
came to finish out the work, and under his direct’on, we finished plane geom-
etry that semester.

When it came time to decide how many of us would take Solid Geometry,
every one thought he had had enough Geometry, so no class : n Solid Geometry
was arranged for that year. During our Senior year most of us took Com-
mercial Arithmetic under the guidance of Miss Sexton, wh : lc Miss Malone
piloted a Solid Geometry class through many complicated lessons.

In closing we wish to thank the teachers who have so patiently hammered
mathematics into us and made us feel the need of that very important and
interesting subject.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE

By GRACE SMALI EY, ’19

Domestic Science, as taught in the Hobart High School, includes in-
structions in cooking and sewing. Two periods of ninety minutes each
week are given to cooking, one to recitation, and the other to laboratory
work. No text book is used as a satisfactory text is not known, but the
department library contains some reference works. The pupils are required
to keep note books in which each lesson is entered.

It is necessary that a course for high school girls be sunple, yet logical
in its order, and thorough in its scope, that the pupil may learn to value
health and knowledge relating therein and that they may become skillful,
contented workers in our greatest institution, the home.

Scientific instruction and actual practice should go hand in hand. Prac-
tice without guiding, makes the work mechanical and uninteresting. Theory
without practice is unreal and profitless. Pupils are set to work on real
problems such as are encountered in actual home work.

In cooking, the preparation of actual meals is encouraged, and the im-
portance of home practice is emphasized. Every effort is made to have the
girls practice at home the things they have learned at school, as in Physics

and Chemistry, there are principles in cooking which are worthy of con-
sideration.

Domestic Science is an elective subject, but every girl in the class of
’19 choose it and took it for two years.

PHYSIOLOGY

By WILLARD DORMAN, ’19

Physiology is usually a Senior subject and a half year course, but this
year there were a few advanced Juniors in the class and it was taught the
full term.

The study takes up the names and uses of the different parts of the
body. Physiology also teaches one what is harmful and what are the causes
of the many diseases of the organs of the body. The High School Physiology
is more interesting and far more advanced than the subjects as taught in. the
grades. It takes up the study of every part of the body and how and why
each one is controlled.

During part of the year a manual was used along with the book and as
each chapter was taken up it was followed by an experiment in the labora-
tory. Anyone can certainly make good use of the subject no matter what line
of work he takes up after leaving high school.

The books used were Conn and Budingtons Advanced Physiology and
Hygiene. All of us spent a profitable and pleasant term on the subject and
we thank Mr. Mogle, our teacher, for his patience in making the subject so
interesting.

“UNCLE SAM'S BOYS IN CAMP”

M usical sketch for male voices
M. O. Wallace and Wallace Bruce

On the afternoon of February fourteenth the high school auditorium
changed miracously into an army camp. Miss McLinn’s chorus of boys sang
their serenades and patriotic songs with characteristic army “Pep.”

Boys are boys, and be they Majors or privates they always fall for the
pretty girls, so when the fascinating Lady Gazelle of the Superior Entertain-
ment Bureau came to enliven the monotony of army discipline all the soldiers

were glad. They could hardly wait to see her and were very pleased to do
her slightest bidding. It made Hal very angry to notice that the Major was
far from democratic in monopolizing Lady Gazelle. Her every action gave
delight to the boys, so you can easily realize how badly they all felt when
she faited while dancing for them. She promised to come again when she
recovered so the Major gave her a note to her manager. Imagine the chagrin
of all the boys when Lady Gazelle laughed in a deep bass voice, snatched off
her hat and stood before them Captain Odds!

All this farce had been the result of a wager made between the Major and
the Captain, that no man dressed up as a woman could ever fool the Major.
Well one did and thereby gave the plot for an amusing little musical comedy.

Ira Kepple, as Bob, did good solo work, while the whole chorus singing
showed much practice and work. The songs were greatly enjoyed by all.

By VIOLA PUETTJER, ’19

When our class of ’19 entered the high school in the Spring of 1915, Mrs.
Ellwyn Roper Peddicord had charge of the Musical Department. Most of
our class took up music and in April the chorus sang “Gloria,” in Gary, win-
ning third place in the honors. The year following, we sang “Toreador” in
Gary. At the end of the semester, Mrs. Peddicord left us, and Miss Helen
Kolb became our new instructor. Every one will agree that Miss Kolb was all
“pep.” The high school course under her supervision gave a musical program,
made up of operatic, classical, and popular selections. In April of the same
year we sang “Unfold Ye Portals” in Gary and took the third place again.
After three semesters’ work in the Hobart High School, Miss Kolb’s place
was filled by Miss McLinn. That year we were not repersented by a chorus
in Gary. In the following fall Miss McLinn put on a delightful little cantata
called “May Queen.” Emma Carstensen, as the May Queen, gowned in filmy
white, assisted by Miss Margaret Sandy of. Valparaiso, made the cantata very
successful.

The school year of 1918-19 has been very much broken up, so that it has
been impossible to present many musical treats to our patrons. The boys’
chorus did good work in the musical comedy, entitled “Uncle Sam’s Boys in
Camp,” and we hope to have many more good musical selections before school
closes.

said I put gasoline in the salad instead of olive oil, salt in the sauce instead of
sugar and that my coffee was simply wicked.”

Swift— “That’s too bad. We’ve alw-ays a place for good cooks so just sit

(Prudence opens her valise and commences pulling out clothes and
throwing them on the stage. She comments on beauty of clothes, and talks
all the time. Finally she finds the second bag, and starts another search for
another pocketbook. Then she remembers that she has it in her coat pocket.)

Swift (as she leaves) — “Ye gods.”

(Just then a young and beautiful lady enters and starts to sit down on
the bench with the other cooks. Swift again starts to unwrap. \ he cooks
on the bench slide over to vacant place and keep the new arrival running back
and forth trying to get a seat. Swift goes over and runs with her. Finally
he takes one of the cooks, Lotta Pep, by the coat collar and hangs her on
the coat rack, then he finishes unwraping, hangs his coat over her and the
young lady who recently arrived sits smilingly. The others look sour. Swift
goes over to get the beauty’s name.)

Swift — “What is your name, please?”

Cook — “Miss Butterfly, sir.”

Swift — “Some hard time you had lighting.”

Cook — “Oh, I always do.”

Swift — “Can you beat that?” (He then goes over to his desk and looks
among his papers. Mrs. Wearyman enters.)

Mrs. W. — “Oh, I’m so upset. We just got over the Flu at our house when
we took down with smallpox and now we can’t get a cook at all, and I’m so
weak.” (Cooks on bench begin to exchange glances.)

Swift — “There you are, Mrs. W., take your pick.”

Cooks — “Nothing stirring.”

Mrs. W. — “Sir, I’m insulted. (She leaves.)

Swift — “That’s all right, lady, go to Dr. Leary. Insulted? Now, what
kind of a disease is that?”

(Mr. Jack enters. Swift hails him.)

Swift — “Hello, there, Mr. Jack. What is the trouble?”

Jack — “Swift, I’m looking for a beautiful young lady to cook my meals
for me until my wife comes home from visiting her mother.”

(All the cooks except Miss Butterfly commence smiling at him and flirt-
ing. Mr. Jack makes a sour face. The cook on the rack commences kicking
but to no avail.)

Mr. Jack — “Ah, there, my pretty one. I’ll take you.”

(He takes Miss Butterfly by the arm and they leave. All the rest fall
back into place again.)

Swift — “Well, girls, it is time to go to dinner. Come back again and we’ll
sure find you a job. I’d advise you, however, to take a course in Miss Smith’s
Domestic Science Course first. Bye, bye.’’

(All leave. Girl on rack goes out with rack and all of Swift’s clothes on
her back. Swift runs after her shouting.)
